Ottawa County

Water man is another double dipper By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press The regional water system superintendent in Ottawa County is the latest official to join the list of double dippers in the county. The county commissioners voted unanimously July 17 to accept the retirement of Ron Wetzel and then approve his rehire as of Aug. 1, 2014. Under his new terms, Wetzel will be paid $80,558 a year and retain his health benefits, earning 4.6 hours of sick leave every two weeks and accrue 7.7 hours of vacation time over each two-week period, according to commissioners’ records. Wetzel, who has been with county about 15 years, oversees operations at the county’s regional water plant located off Fremont Road just outside Port Clinton’s corporation limits. The system serves residents and businesses from eastern Port Clinton to Oak Harbor. The county publicized Wetzel’s intention to retire and be rehired and held a discussion July 8 in commissioners’ chambers. There were no objections at that hearing unlike two years ago when Wetzel’s bosses, Sanitary Engineer Kelly Frey and office administrator Gino Monaco, were on the path

Ron could have easily retired and found another job somewhere in no time.

Oregon council in August will consider a proposed ordinance that would approve tax abatements for Oregon Holdings Six LLC, which is developing a new manufacturing facility in the city. The tax abatements are part of the Community Reinvestment Area program established by the state. If approved by council, Oregon Holdings Six LLC would enter into a Community Reinvestment Area Agreement with the city. The agreement would provide for a new building for a manufacturing facility through an entity affiliated with the company, to be owned by the company and constructed and located in the Community Reinvestment Area. The company would receive a tax exemption for 10 years for 100 percent of the real property improvements as a result of the project. As part of the agreement, the company will pay the Oregon City Schools District an amount that equals or exceeds 50 percent of the amount of taxes that would have been paid had the property not been exempted from taxes. Ed Harmon, who heads Oregon Holdings Six LLC, said he has worked in the city for the last 12 years. “We started with the first project on Spartan Drive. If I want a building built quickly and on time, I have only one place to build, and that is in Oregon, Ohio,” said Harmon at a council meeting last Monday. “At this time, we have, between Toledo and Oregon, about 1 million square feet of industrial space,” he said. “Particularly in Oregon, we have two projects that are going on.” One of the projects is an addition to Rieter Automotive, a subsidiary of Swissbased Autoneum, according to Harmon. “This particular project is 40,000 square feet.”

to double dipping – that is retiring and collecting a pension while also returning to serve in their previous jobs with an annual salary at the same time. A local businessman was very vocal that the practice needed to be stopped but commissioners still approved those requests. Wetzel oversees a staff of five at the plant that offers service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. His experience and his high-level certification were key reasons for honoring the request and keeping him on staff, Commissioner Jim Sass said. “Ron is one of the few Class 4 opera-

tors in the state. That plant requires a Class 4 operator to be in place,” he explained. “Ron could have easily retired and found another job somewhere in no time. And we would have spent time looking for someone and could have easily had to pay another $20,000 to $30,000 more for a qualified person.” Couple that with his familiarity with the plant as well as the local environmental issues such as the algae blooms that have plagued Lake Erie waters for a number of years and the rehiring is justified, Sass added. The source of the plant’s water is a submerged intake in Lake Erie. The plant under Wetzel’s care is among those voluntarily testing for microcystin, a toxin in microcytis, the lake’s most harmful type of blue-green algae. The blooms are borne out of high levels of phosphorous caused by runoff from things such as agricultural fertilizer, manure and septic systems. Blooms typically return in mid to late July and last weeks. A high-level of the toxin forced Carroll Township to put its residents on alert last September. Residents quit drinking the water for two days and the township distributed bottled water until safe levels of water returned.

THE PRESS

JULY 28, 2014

Crosswalk signs added By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press New bright neon signs promoting pedestrian safety popped up on the main street of Oak Harbor this week. And motorists likely took a double take as their vehicles passed the four-foot signs posted along the center line of Water Street near the Portage District Fire Station and a block down from the State Route 19 intersection. The signs emphasize that it’s state law to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks. The white crosswalk striping - which has faded over the years as traffic treads over its path - will get a fresh coat of paint in weeks to come, Village Administrator Randy Genzman said. The signs are a direct result of complaints received regarding walker safety in both areas. One of the most vocal has been resident Dennis Schiets, Benton Street. The retired long-haul trucker has appeared at a number of spring and summer council meetings to comment on the plight of walkers in the downtown crosswalks. He’s also complained about the traffic tie-ups and blocked entrances occurring when a train passes through town. It’s been his experience in other towns across that nation, that the village has the right to demand motorists not block those entrance/exit areas near the railroad tracks. He said he has seen signs posted in other communities and that motorists can be fined for continuing the practice. Village officials are reviewing whether such action is legal here, Genzman said. In the meantime, they’ve spent $900 on the two vibrant signs they hope will be attention to walker safety and help reduce the possibility of accidents by making drivers more aware of the crosswalks and pedestrian rights, Genzman said. The signs will removed in late fall before the snow flies.

Free computer training The Birchard Public Library is participating in a new AmeriCorps program. “Guiding Ohio Online.” Through the program, AmeriCorps members will offer classes and one-on-one help at library locations to individuals who want to become more knowledgeable and confident about using computers. The program, which is being coordinated by Mandy Knapp at the State Library of Ohio, will run from Oct. 1 through Aug. 29, 2015. Applicants who are interested in being computer helpers at area libraries can visit www.guidingohioonline.org or email Mandy Knapp at aknapp@library.ohio.or.

New river access

The Village of Oak Harbor just became more accessible with the addition of a 60-foot public dock located along the downtown waterfront. The Oak Harbor Downtown Revitalization Implementation Committee installed the dock as part of the village's waterfront development plan. Personal watercraft and shallow draft boats are welcome to utilize the dock, located behind US Bank off of Mill Street, until Labor Day at no charge.

Tax abatement sought for new plant Continued from front page “This will be for manufacturing/distribution. It will produce the parts for the Ford 150, with assembly in Michigan, Kansas and Mexico. These parts will be manufactured here and shipped to those facilities for further assembly.” The estimated cost of the project is $1.8 million, he said. An additional $400,000 will be spent at the location on Spartan Drive, which will be modified to handle the product, he added. The building will be owned by Oregon Holdings Six LLC, but operated by Autoneum, he added. “They have a 10 year lease, and we anticipate them being here for many, many years,” said Harmon. It will bring the total space of Autoneum, not counting its main plant, to 250,000 square feet, he said. The second project is an expansion of Fresenius, a medical care facility in Oregon. “We will be adding 50,000 square feet. to the building,” he said. Most of the jobs will be coming from California. “They’re moving part of the manu-

facturing from California to Oregon,” he said. “In addition to that, we have a project inside the plant that we will modify to increase its production. We anticipate construction to start some time this fall or early next spring, with completion six to seven months afterwards.” “You have a wonderful track record here in Oregon,” said Councilman Jerry Peach. “We appreciate the investment in both your time and capital investment you’ve made in our community.” “We’ve invested somewhere north of $25 million in this town,” said Harmon. “We continue to do so. We have a couple of other projects beyond these two. And we are marketing and selling Oregon nationally.” Industrial base Administrator Mike Beazley said Harmon, who is also chairman of Spartan Logistics LLC, has developed many projects in the city over the last several years. “He has a long history of doing some outstanding development here in Oregon,” Beazley said of Harmon. “In the past, we have done some routine tax abatements that made it a little easier for the company to choose Oregon and

allow the creation of some jobs here. This is a similar venture,” said Beazley. Harmon developed his first facility on Wales Road in Northwood about 20 years ago. He owns nine different facilities in Oregon and Northwood and owns 6 million square feet of commercial and industrial properties across the country, from New York to California. Besides Fresenius, Caraustar, the nation’s largest supplier of gypsum facing paper in North America, and the second largest manufacturer of convolute-wound and spiral-wound paper tubes and cores, is among the companies drawn to Harmon’s facilities in Oregon over the years. Mayor Mike Seferian said the city’s real strength is its industrial base. “It’s our lifeline. We have a great relationship and we provide services here for the industrial based businesses. We try to make it easy for them to do business here,” said Seferian. Council will consider passing the ordinance at a meeting on August 11 after the Oregon school board considers supporting a resolution in favor of the measure, he

added.

Waters dismissed as director

Outside review planned of OSU band allegations By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com An independent task force headed by former Ohio Attorney General Betty Montgomery will conduct a review of allegations of sexual harassment within The Ohio State University marching band program, expanding on an internal investigation that led to the dismissal of Jon Waters, the band’s director. OSU president Michael Drake last week said the task force will report to him directly and will include Ernst & Young, an accounting/consulting firm, the Sports Conflict Institute and outside legal counsel. Drake said Ernst & Young will conduct an investigatory review while SCI will review the “culture” of the marching band. The legal counsel will provide guidance on Title IX compliance. “Nothing is more important than the safety of our students,” Drake said in a prepared statement. Waters, a native of Elmore and graduate of Woodmore High School, had been director of the band since 2012. A two-month investigation by the Office of University Compliance revealed “serious cultural issues and an environment conducive to sexual harassment within the marching band.” “In addition, the investigation determined that Director Waters was aware or reasonably should have known about this

culture but failed to eliminate it, prevent its recurrence and address its effects,” the statement said. The investigation revealed conduct by “members of the band and staff” that is described as “inconsistent with the university’s values and Title IX requirements.” The university said it will move quickly to hire an interim band director and the band season will continue. Waters had been named interim director of the band when his mentor Jon Woods stepped down after 28 years at the helm. Waters is credited with taking the 225-member band’s half-time performances to another level and in 2013 what is called ‘The Best Damn Band in the Land” became an Internet sensation with formations depicting popular movies, the music of artists such as The Beatles and Michael Jackson and other icons of pop culture. Waters had been a member of the band as a student. In November 1998, he had the distinction of dotting the “I” in a formation of the word “Ohio” during half-time of the Buckeye’s game with Michigan. He visited Elmore earlier this month, accompanied by about 15 members of the band and the mascot, Brutus Buckeye. The village issued a proclamation honoring Waters. In 2013, university officials increased the school’s contribution to the band program budget to $1 million from about $220,000 – enabling the band to travel to more football games.

computer driven program, they come from my hands. They’re hand built, hand cut, hand carved, hand polished.” Even though Alvarado makes each guitar different from any other instrument in existence, including a unique name for each- including “FalconKing,” “Lemondrop,” and “Addison”- he keeps his prices low, so that the chance to own a handmade guitar isn’t just open to those with a lot of money to spend. “My prices are low for what I do,” Alvarado said. “Even if they’re the same

price as an off-the-rack guitar, mine are one-of-a-kind.” Still, the payoff for Alvarado isn’t in the money, but the creativity he puts into each unique instrument. “(Building guitars) is my expression,” Alvarado said. “It’s my contribution to music.” For more information on Art Alvarado’s custom guitars, call 419-309-0076 or visit www.alvaradoguitars.com. The store is open Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

“

They’re hand built, hand cut, hand carved, hand polished.

“

For years, Art Alvarado has been perfecting the craft of making custom electric guitars from scratch. After years of finetuning his skills, he’s finally opened a store of his own, where he can not only sell his guitars, but also create them. “The store is more my workshop, that happens to have a storefront to display my (completed) guitars,” he said. Alvarado Hand Made Custom Guitars opened on 312 Main Street in East Toledo about seven months ago. It is just down the street from Frankie’s Bar. Alvarado’s relationship with guitars didn’t begin with playing the instrument. His first experience came from buying guitars for his son. “I knew that (my kids) needed a positive influence in their lives. I always thought that music was it,” said Alvarado. Alvarado believes that learning an instrument is so much more beneficial to kids than just having the ability to play music. “If you learn an instrument, you set goals for yourself that are obtainable,” he said. “With a guitar, you can express your feelings. You don’t need to keep them bottled up.” Before starting to build guitars, Alvarado had no carpentry or building experience at all. But one fateful day in a guitar store, where he was looking for equipment for his son, his interest was sparked. “I walked into a guitar store, and you know how people say that they heard a voice? It was pretty much like that,” he said. “I’d never even thought about making guitars, but I heard something within me say ‘What are you doing here?’ That’s all it had to say.” It took Alvarado time to figure out what materials he needed and how to go about constructing handmade instruments, but after that day, he never doubted that making guitars was his calling. “From the time I left that store, I knew that this is what I was meant to do,” he said. For Alvarado, it is rewarding work, but it’s also a tough business, especially when he feels the pressure from others who think he should make guitars that look more like brand name guitars. “People want to play (instruments) that look like the ones their heroes play,” he said, “but that’s not why I got into making guitars.” Anyone who comes into Alvarado’s shop will see that the designs aren’t like anything produced in a factory. To make them even more special, Alvarado never makes the same guitar twice. “Every one of my guitars is a one-off,” he said. “They’re not coming off of some

Woodmore voters to decide bond issue Voters in the Woodmore Local School District will decide this fall whether or not they want to fund a new auditorium at the high school. The school board Monday unanimously approved a resolution to place a bond issue on the November ballot that would, if passed, generate approximately $4.5 million for the construction of a new auditorium and other improvement projects in the district. Karen Botzko, interim treasurer, said

the board will ask the Sandusky County auditor to certify a 1.98-mill, 25-year levy request for the Nov. 4 election. Linda Bringman, school superintendent, said the auditorium plans include a seating capacity of 600. The new facility would be constructed where the Hetrick wing is now, she said. The wing, which houses seventh and eighth grade classes, will be demolished next year and those students will be enrolled in a new building in Woodville that will house

pre-kindergarten through the eighth grade. The board considered two resolutions for bonds - a 25-year issue and 37-year issue - before deciding to place the 25-year issue before voters, Bringman said. Woodmore voters in 2012 approved a bond issue that is providing about $15.7 million for the local share of the cost of the elementary building in Woodville. The Ohio Facilities Construction Commission is providing just over $7 million for construction costs.

Oregon Library to close, expansion beginning The Oregon Branch Library will be closed temporarily starting Aug. 11 for an expansion project that will add 3,700 square feet to the facility at 3340 Dustin Road. A temporary site in the former Wynn Elementary School will be open beginning the last week in August. Rhonda Sewell, media relations coordinator for the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library, said an exact day hasn’t been determined for what library officials are calling the Wynn Center but hours will be Monday and Tuesday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Work on the Dustin Road branch is scheduled for completion by June or July 2015. The project is expected to cost about $2.5 million. Almost all of the additional floor space will be dedicated to public use, including a room for children story times and a room for teens with access to the Internet. A meeting room is being expanded and there will be a 24-hour lobby area for patrons to drop off and pick up materials. An auction of some of the library’s furniture is planned for late August.

The branch was built in 1988 and covers about 14,800 square feet. Other branches nearby are in East Toledo: • Birmingham Branch Library, 203 Paine Ave. (Hours: Monday and Tuesday, 9 a.m.-8:30 p.m. and Wednesday through Friday, 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m.) • Locke Branch Library, 703 Miami St. (Hours: Monday and Tuesday, 9 a.m.-8:30 p.m. and Wednesday through Friday, 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m.) For information, contact Oregon Branch Library officials at 419 259-5250.

New Wood County subdivision regs on agenda By Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com New regulations covering subdivisions in Wood County will be on the agenda of the county commissioners’ Aug. 5 meeting. The county planning commission has approved a final draft of the 70-page document. Dave Steiner, director of the planning commission, said the new regulations will replace regulations adopted in 1989 that include an update to open space rules approved in 2005. “The new regulations will take into account all of the law changes and court

cases that have occurred since 1989,” Steiner said. “They will also address issues that have been an on-going problem for the planning commission such as maintenance of storm water systems, detention/retention ponds and open space.” In effect, the planning commission has “married” the new regulations to another set of regulations established by the county engineer’s office entitled “The Wood County Subdivision Site Improvement Manual,” he said, noting the engineer’s document establishes design standards for streets, storm water facilities, drainage systems, as well as maintenance provisions for storm water and drainage systems.

“The thought being that rather than have the redundancy of both documents containing the same language, the subdivision regulations would reference the appropriate requirements in the site improvement manual and vice versa,” Steiner said. The new regulations are based on a model set of regulations drafted by the County Commissioners Association of Ohio and the County Engineers Association of Ohio. “By doing this we were comfortable the contents of our document were up to date as well as legally sound,” Steiner said.

Sheriff thanks volunteers for work on truck By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press Partnership was the word tossed around repeatedly when the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office recently debuted its new Special Response Team equipment truck. Sheriff Steve Levorchick gave special recognition July 10 to Jay’s Body Shop and the Erie-Ottawa Regional Airport. Workers at the Genoa-area body shop volunteered more than a month and half of manpower, giving new life to the exterior of the Value Van 3500 squad purchased for $3,500 a year and a half ago from the Harris-Elmore EMS. “Jay’s Body Shop did all the work on it. They made it look beautiful. I just can’t say enough good things about it,� Levorchick said. The airport, headed by manager Stan Gebhardt, stores the vehicle and provides

access 24 hours a day, seven days a week to the 12 members of the unit. The team is made up of sheriff’s deputies as well as officers from other law enforcement agencies. “We consider the airport our home, our partner with the SRT,� the sheriff added. The truck, refinished with a flat black matte paint, and emblazoned with a “Sheriff� insignia crafted by Allure Signs & Printing of Marblehead, transports the team that specializes in handling hostage situations, barricaded individuals and other major events, according to SRT Commander Jim Muller, a deputy with the sheriff’s office. Callouts vary from year to year. There were five last year, he said, mostly involving barricaded people. Brian Ralston, general manager of Jay’s Body Shop, said shop employees were happy to be involved in the squad’s transformation.

Jay’s Body Shop manager Brian Ralston and Brian Muller, commander of the Special Response Team of the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office, show off the new SRT equipment truck. The body shop donated manpower and paint to refurbish the vehicle.

Ohio EPA visit highlights battle with algal blooms During a visit Wednesday to Toledo and Oregon, the director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency praised several public water systems for their cooperation in a voluntary program to test for microcystin levels. But Craig Butler said the U.S. EPA has taken too long to determine what drinking water standards should be. “We need a target to test against,� Butler said during a stop at the City of Oregon’s water treatment plant on N. Curtice Road. In addition to testing its own raw water for microcystin, a type of toxin that can be produced by blue-green algae, the city’s plant has also been processing samples from the cities of Clyde, Findlay and Monroe, Mich. as well as Carroll Township,

“

...the U.S. EPA has taken too long to determine what drinking water standards should be.

“

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com

Kelleys Island and the Ottawa County regional water treatment system. Doug Wagner, superintendent of water treatment in Oregon, said the arrangement saves time and money for the entities, which take turns buying the test kits that

cost $485. Since 2010, Oregon has been performing its own on-site testing for algal toxins. The Ohio EPA has developed a response strategy for algal blooms for public water systems that is updated annually. The 2014 draft document calls for voluntary weekly sampling for microcystin and more frequent sampling if detected levels are above 5 parts per billion in a system’s untreated water. While the city conducts sampling several times a week during the summer months when algal bloom are more common, the agency samples public water systems for microcystins in response to a bloom. Water treatment, Wagner said, can be a “serious balancing act� as the use of chlorine to eradicate microcystin can result in elevated levels of trihalomethanes

- a group of four chemicals formed when chlorine or other disinfectants used to control microbial contaminants in drinking water react with naturally occurring organic and inorganic matter in water. Also in Oregon, Butler and Mike Baker, chief of the Ohio EPA’s division of drinking and groundwaters, and local officials toured a section of Wolf Creek where the city is realigning parking areas and storm drainage swales to reduce run-off into the creek. A federal-state grant is being used to help fund the project. The group’s first stops were at the City of Toledo’s Bay View waste water treatment plant and an overflow storage basin in East Toledo under construction. A high-level of the toxin forced Carroll Township to put its residents on alert last September.

Toledo’s real ghostbusters featured on Travel Channel By Christopher Selmek Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com

Looking at history Most investigations actually begin in the library or government center, where the team goes through historical records to

Al and Tami Luna, founders and senior investigators for Toledo’s Paranormal Spirit Encounter Investigations. find out what has happened on or near the property. One house that the Lunas visited in Michigan was haunted, they believe, because of a railway accident that happened nearby, but the team looks for any event which may have caused ghosts or spirits to want to be there. Then they perform the initial interview. Many reported hauntings can be debunked before PSEI sets up any equipment, when they try to think of natural explanations for hearing noises. “The Dead Files” typically begins their investigations by having Amy, a psychic medium, walk through the property to pick up signals. PSEI does not have a psychic because they haven’t found someone they felt was trustworthy, Al said. PSEI’s tools are more scientific and include Infra-red cameras, a minimum of four of which are placed at hot spots within the location, and MEL and KII meters which measure low level electricity in the air. “Ghosts are made up of a plasmic energy, generally at very low levels on the readouts we get,” said Al. “Generally 1.0 to 5.0 milligals is a strong signal, but if you get better equipment it can get up into the 40s. At the house in East Toledo, we did not get a visual, but we did pick up strange things on the cameras. Some people believe orbs have nothing to do with apparitions, but where we pick them up makes us think that it has something to do with spiritual powers.” It can take longer than an hour to set up all of the cameras in different areas, and they are sometimes at a location until 3 a.m. They also carry digital recorders and a device called a Voice Box through which ghosts have sometimes been able to speak. In the East Toledo case, PSEI met with the family on Feb 27 and learned from them that “The Dead Files” had discovered at least four demonic spirits after Amy’s psychic walk through the house. They discussed hosting an exorcism, and the family requested the priest visit them. During the priest’s interview, he walks through the house and asks the homeowners questions that pertain to false gods. Spirits typically enter the physical world

“

Most of the time, the entity haunting a house was already there when the current owners moved in.

“

If there’s somethin’ strange in your neighborhood, who ya gonna call? If you live near Toledo, you might want to call PSEI. PSEI (Paranormal Spirit Encounter Investigations) has been active in the community since January, providing free investigations for any home or business owner troubled by hauntings or demonic attacks. One recent investigation, which ended with PSEI bringing in a Roman Catholic priest to perform an exorcism on a house in East Toledo, will be featured on the Travel Channel’s “The Dead Files” Aug. 2. “Our goal is to help a family or business owner be happy in their home or business again,” said Al and Tami Luna, the founders of PSEI. “When we first contacted the family in East Toledo, they were ready to move out of the house, but after the exorcism, we hadn’t heard from them in a while and found out it was because they had been busy being happy and living life. “Before, they could hardly sleep because they were being held down in bed, scratched and pushed down the stairs, so what we do really does help people,” Al said. The names of the individuals involved in the upcoming “Dead Files” episode cannot be published until after the episode airs, but it involves a mother and her female partner, a daughter and her 2-year old son. Prior to the filming of this episode, only the daughter remained in the East Toledo home, while the other three moved out. Al originally met the haunting victims because of his fondness for distributing PSEI business cards. He handed one to the cashier at a local Taco Bell sometime after “Dead Files” performed their initial investigation, and she asked if they could help her. Al accepted the challenge. “We had been active in another group for about four years, which we left in January, because they didn’t want to deal with anything demonic or get spirits out of homes,” said Al. “They kind of felt they got evidence of apparitions for their entertainment but wouldn’t help exorcise the spirit. Sometimes they said they would put the homeowner in contact with someone who could help, but we don’t know if they ever did or not. Tami and I feel we have an obligation to help people through to the end, and we’re very interested in helping people feel comfortable in their own homes.” PSEI consists of six members. Al and Tami are the founders and senior investigators, while Ray Williamson, Amy Rupp, Corey Todd and Earl Brannon are investigators with specific talents. Then there is the priest, who lives in the Detroit area and is not an official member of the group, but makes himself available any time they need him, “We’ve used him twice this year for exorcisms,” said Tami. “We can’t use his name, because most priests are not able to go public with what they are doing. The Bishop refused to let Dead Files record the exorcism, which he performs in Latin. We don’t understand what he is saying, but there is a reason we do it that way.”

through doorways which can be opened from this side using things like Ouija boards or Tarot cards, Al said, adding PSEI once investigated a house which may have been haunted because of New Orleans beads strung up around the bedroom which held the image of a voodoo god. “Most of the time, the entity haunting a house was already there when the current owners moved in,” said Al. “Even a fortune telling pendulum can open a doorway that lets them in, and generally when you open that door, it won’t be a friendly ghost, it will be something demonic, and they can be very hard to get rid of.” On March 13, the priest arrived and conducted the exorcism. He prayed for an angel to come into the house and protect the family for the entire time they live there, then continued by reciting the prayer or exorcism to St. Michael and a few Psalms in Latin. “Latin is one of the original languages, and it is a pure language, which means that every word in Latin has a specific meaning, unlike our language which is very ambiguous,” said Tami. “So when he’s telling a demon in Latin to stay out and get out, he really means it.” That was when Al and Tami started getting attacked by demons. “What happened was the mother started getting a stabbing pain in her head and

feeling weak, so she sat down and held the wooden cross the priest had blessed for her,” said Al. “After the pain left her, I started feeling a tingling in my neck and my body temperature went up. So I reached down and grabbed the cross I always wear, and the tingling went away.” Following the demonic attack, the priest went room by room, sprinkling holy water from the attic to the basement, after which a calm fell over the house. The daughter and her boy then came inside to be blessed by the priest, and the 2-year-old started playing with no fear of the house and slept there that night without incident, Al said. A follow-up revealed the daughter living in the East Toledo house was having no problems, but that the demons had followed the mother and her partner to their home in North Toledo. PSEI arranged another exorcism with the priest, and now all family members seem to be doing fine. PSEI does not charge for any of their services, and is willing to travel within an hour of the Toledo area. “We were like a lot of people who watched the TV shows and felt a little interested, but I had an experience in the `80s that made me want to know more,” said Al. “I also guide a Haunted History tour in downtown Toledo on Saturdays, and one of the questions I always ask my guests is what is the difference between a ghost and a spirit? If you know the answer, you might win a prize.” The Lunas live in Perrysburg, but have visited numerous locations around Ohio such as the Pemberville Opera House and the original location of Tony Packo’s Hungarian restaurant, both of which they say are definitely haunted. Their next case will take them to Sand Creek, Michigan, where they say homeowners have seen four full-body apparitions accompanied by knocking and noise.

African trip gives Woodmore grad greater appreciation By Yaneek Smith and Malachi Brown news@presspublications.com Elmore resident Hunter Gregory now has a greater appreciation of things. That is because last spring, Gregory went on a mission trip to Africa that saw him make new friends in another continent while enduring challenges not seen in Northwest Ohio. For two weeks, Gregory, along with his aunt, Sharon, and some of her friends, helped to build a residence hall for an orphanage in Malawi, a country located in southeast Africa. Gregory, 18, who graduated from Woodmore High School in the spring, said the experience had its share of joy and sorrow. “It was very different from here,” Gregory said. “It was very ‘Third World’ and there was a lot of poverty and it gave me a different perspective on life.” During the day, Gregory would haul bricks to the building site as his colleagues worked to construct a fortress. The work, which was arduous, gave him the opportunity to bond with the African children. “We would use broken wheelbarrows to get the bricks, which were a half a mile away, push it through sand,” Gregory said. “We would do that for eight hours per day and they would lay the bricks very fast, so they always needed new ones. “A lot of kids liked to help and it was like a game for them. It helped to bond with the kids. They loved us. We were kind of like celebrities to them. They would want to play with us and hold our hands. A lot of the kids were very helpful. All they wanted to do was help us. They are a lot less spoiled.” According to Gregory, many of the children become orphaned because of the AIDS epidemic in Africa. In fact, the 2012 United Nations AIDS Report states that ap-

Woodmore grad Hunter Gregory with local children on his mission trip to Africa. proximately 25 million people who had contracted HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, lived in sub-Saharan Africa. But there are other reasons the children have been orphaned. “A lot of them were dropped off there,” Gregory said. “Their parents might be alive and they’d hear about the place and they’d walk thousands of miles to drop their kids off because they knew (the orphanage) would provide a better life for them. And they know there’s no way to track them

down. Sometimes kids with abusive parents are rescued and brought to the orphanage, too.” Despite the hardships the people have endured, they are making progress and heading in the right direction. “They’re at the stage now where they’re trying to get leaders in their communities, which is going pretty well,” Gregory said. “They’re in need of education.” He also spent time at a local hospital, which he said was a sobering experience.

“It was kind of sad,” Gregory said. “They had a whole different cultural perspective. The hospital would not feed the kids, the mothers had to. It’s customary for the mother to take care of the child. So we would bring food to the hospital for them. That was very different. I even had to (administer) an IV because they would not take no for an answer (when they asked me to help). It was disheartening to see those kids knowing a lot of them didn’t make it.” There were a couple of things that made every day a challenge. The one that stuck out the most was barely tolerable showers. Another was the availability of food. There was no snacking and the only time he was able to eat was at meal times. Fresh water was also an issue, but finding and locating it wasn’t as hard he was told it might have been. He also coached a children’s soccer team at a tournament. He said the experience he had was amazing. “I would do this again if I were given the chance,” said Gregory, and he is planning to head back to Africa as soon as he can. “The kids were great to be with and the people were so friendly to me.” Before and during his trip, Gregory had to take some precautions. He had to have multiple vaccinations before he left. While he was there, he had to make sure his windows and doors were locked at night to prevent the local wildlife from intruding upon his shelter. He also had to make sure if he was walking at night he was accompanied by someone. Gregory, who played soccer and track while at Woodmore, will be a freshman at the University of Toledo this fall. He plans to study Human Resources & Finance and hopes to get a job someday that allows him to travel. (Part of this article is from Window To Woodmore, a student publication, with permission).

Woodmore teen graduates as Highway Patrol Junior Cadet Ross Wolford, a senior at Woodmore High School who is also studying criminal justice at Penta Career Center, completed training for the Ohio State Highway Patrol’s Junior Cadet Program, held June 22-26 at the Highway Patrol Training Academy in Columbus. Wolford was one of 30 Junior Cadet participants selected from applications submitted by young men and women who attended Buckeye Boys and Girls State in early June. Cadet program candidates were also chosen based on exemplary performance throughout the previous school year. Eligible children of Patrol employees were also among the Junior Cadets. The Junior Cadet Program is designed to give young participants better insight into the challenges faced by law enforcement officers by enabling them to experience a typical week at the Academy. To enhance their learning experience, Junior Cadets were required to spend the entire week at the academy, sleeping in the dormitories and dining in the cafeteria. Throughout the week, they learned about crash investigation, officer/violator contacts, self-defense tactics, K-9 operations, building searches, motorcycle operations, impaired driver apprehension and military

Looking after yourself is not necessarily a selfish thing to do Nothing is to be gained by feeling guilty because you are concerned about taking care of your own needs. Unfortunately, you have probably had many encounters with people who equate having a concern for your own well-being with selfishness. Your happiness suffers when you are not OK. When you are off, you can’t be of help to anyone else either. You have an obligation to take care of yourself. There are many areas where you should strive to be OK. You want to be OK with your emotions. It’s important to understand how you are feeling and why. What makes you happy? What upsets you? By understanding emotional cause and effect, you can take action to maximize positive emotions while working to minimize negative ones. Don’t ignore unpleasant feelings, hoping they will go away. Being OK emotionally requires a conscious strategy of knowing yourself and how things impact you. You are then in a position to actively participate in your emotional well-being.

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden It’s just as important to be OK physically as it is mentally. The health and well-being of your mind and body are inseparable. If you are feeling off mentally, you must not allow your physical state to be neglected. Exercise is one of the best ways to reduce the negative impact of stress. Just taking a walk is a great way to clear your mind while taking care of your body. Avoid any self-destructive behavior such as substance abuse or over or under eating. Stressing your body also stresses your mind. The last thing you need is to make things worse. Stress should not and does not need to be a way of life. Chronic stress is destructive both mentally and physically. Dealing with stress starts with identifying the cause and then formulating an effective strategy

for lessening it. Hiding from or masking stress only makes things worse. It’s important to be OK financially. There are only two strategies for financial health. Increase your income and/or reduce your expenses. The best approach combines the two; living below your means. There may be occasions where others ask you to loan or give them money. It’s OK to make sure your financial needs are met before considering giving to others. You spend more time working than at virtually any other activity. If you are not OK with your occupation, you need to make changes. There is no need to suffer at work. You can change jobs or change your position with your current employer. If you don’t have the skills or education needed, get them. Perhaps your own full or part time business could be an option. Your priorities are another area where you want to be OK. You must be the one to set them, not someone else. A great source of frustration is attempting to fulfill priorities which are not your own. Your priorities should be based on your needs

and objectives. Although other people will constantly attempt to dictate your priorities, you don’t have to listen to them or convince them otherwise. Connected to your priorities are your goals. It’s virtually impossible to be OK with goals imposed on you. Everyone has their own desires based on personality, experiences, likes, dislikes, strengths and weaknesses. It’s OK for your goals to be in alignment with who you are. Take a look at the various aspects of your life. Identify any areas where you don’t feel things are OK. Figure out the cause of what is wrong and then formulate a plan to make corrections. It is OK to be OK. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book. Visit www.

Genoa’s 2014 seniors just ‘one of those special classes’ By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com It was a special class, no doubt about it. Genoa’s Class of 2014, which graduated last spring, featured a number of stellar athletes and several elite teams that left a mark in the school’s history. In the fall, the football team helped to continue the incredible seven-year run that began when Tim Spiess and Mike Vicars arrived and turned things around. This year’s squad, easily one of the best in school history, went 10-1, won the Northern Buckeye Conference title and fell in heartbreaking fashion to second-ranked Bryan, 43-36, in the playoffs. Many prep gridiron fans believe that if the Comets had defeated the Golden Bears, they would’ve had a good shot at winning the Division IV state title. Quarterback Logan Scott, who will play football at Defiance College this fall, says the bond that existed between the 17 seniors helped the team have so much success over the past three years. “Even since freshman year, we’ve always been really close,” said Scott, one of the most decorated quarterbacks in the program’s history. “We would hang out outside of football, we were good friends. Once you got on the field with that, you had at least 16 other players that you could trust, so it made it easier to play together. “The most important thing when you look at this class is that none of us were selfish and we did whatever it took for the team to win and we didn’t care about personal records. We didn’t care about how many times we touched the ball. Spiess and Vicars always preached to us, ‘Do it for the team, not for yourself.’” Scott, along with other star players like Casey Gose, David Nutter, Michael Deiter, Quentin Spiess and Ryan Espinoza, got much of the accolades for the team’s success but says the role players and those who did their job by blocking and tackling were just as important. “I think that shows how much heart and how much this group of guys cared about the team,” said Scott, who threw for 1,400 yards and 12 touchdowns last season while setting a single-game school record with 336 passing yards in one game. “Even though they knew they weren’t going to get as much playing time, they knew they were going to contribute to our success. That’s one of the most important things when you talk about chemistry. That shows how trusting those guys are and how much character they have.” Gose, who excelled at running back this year after being used primarily as a wide receiver and kick returner in the pre-

Genoa's Class of 2014 football players. (Press file photo by Harold Hamilton/HEHphotos.smugmug.com) vious two years, says this group of seniors had its own kind of camaraderie. “All of us played football from fifth grade until this year, except for a select few,” said Gose, who will play baseball next year at Owens Community College. “I would say everyone really gets along. I think it was because we got along and had the same goals and knew what we were there for. I think our class is really close as a whole, and I think that’s what also helped is that people would come and support us (at the games). People were always helping us out. That helped out a lot, too.” One game from state Gose and five fellow seniors, Scott, Spiess, Alex Hayes, Gabe Yanez and Grant Adams were part of the baseball team that had an incredible two-year run. This season, Genoa finished second in the league and won a sectional title before coming within one out of advancing to the district final. But it was last year that the team left its mark. The Comets, after finishing third in the NBC, embarked on one of the best tournament runs in school history, making it to the Division III regional final. The run, which included five wins, saw Genoa defeat Elmwood, 3-2, in nine innings in the sectional semifinals before edging Lake, 3-2, in the sectional final. After blowing

out Sherwood Fairview, 13-1, the Comets narrowly defeated Evergreen, 5-4, and beat Lima Central Catholic, 8-3, in the regional semifinals. In the regional final game that would have advanced them to state, they lost to No. 8 ranked Bloom-Carroll, 8-1, ending Genoa’s season at 20-10. “I’m going to remember that every game we played, it came down to the last inning,” said Gose, who earned first team all-league honors in center field plus area coaches voted him to the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press first team. “We were all so young and we didn’t have any seniors,” Gose continued. “It was so cool that we all stepped up and showed leadership. Baseball is such a weird sport, anything can really happen, and you really have to live in the moment.” It was a special experience for Scott, too. “For me personally, it’s a lot more fun when you win by one or two runs,” said Scott, a first team NBC and All-Press selection at first base. “It makes the victory sweeter than if you blow the team out. We got beat by Lake both times in the league and we beat them by one run (in the tournament). Winning in that fashion boosted our confidence. We thought, ‘Hey, maybe we can do something.’ Going into the tournament last year, nobody expected us to do anything.” Those two consecutive seasons have

helped the Comet baseball program return to the successful days of the past. “When Coach Rightnowar came here, he said, ‘We are going to make people care about baseball again. In one or two years, people are going to know who Genoa is not just for football but for baseball,’” Scott said. “Knowing that people know us in Genoa for baseball, that’s a greater win. Getting more people out to the games, it’s nice knowing that the baseball players feel like they’re important and that they’re not just living in the football team’s shadow.” Seniors on the wrestling team had a magnificent run as well, winning the NBC for the second straight season and third time in four years. A group of six seniors, Max Reeder, Nathan Moore, Cody Buckner, Tyler Rozak, Dustin Widmer and Robert Roginski led the Comets to new heights, and three of them, Reeder, Moore and Buckner, advanced to the state meet. As a team, Genoa was 16th in Division III with 16 points. The Comets also won their sectional, finished third at districts and had four league champions. Individually, Logan Bryer won the Division II state title in the shot put with a throw of 55 feet, 8 inches and was third in the discus (171-4). Bryer, who will be attending the University of Kentucky to compete with the track team, was second in the discus two years ago.

Northwood coach’s bag was winning championships By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com When you think of Northwood, you probably think about baseball and football, which have been the school’s two premier sports for years. For nearly 50 years, the Rangers have built and sustained a baseball program that has consistently won league titles. In recognition, Northwood will honor one of its best all-time coaches, Jeff Meyers, during its 10th Annual Northwood Ranger Baseball Alumni Game on August 16 at 1 p.m. Meyers, who coached the Rangers for 11 years from 1979-89, finished his tenure as the winningest coach in school history with 201 victories. Meyers left Northwood in 1989 to coach baseball in Key Largo, Florida. There, he won 143 games and four league titles at Coral Shore High School. Meyers said no matter where he was at, he treasured the relationship he had with his players. “The big thing about coaching at Northwood is that I had a relationship with the kids that was so great – from the kids who didn’t play one inning to guys like (former player) Dave Minarcin,� Meyers said. “It was tremendous. “It was 11 years that I’ll never forget, especially the relationship with the kids. The kids in Northwood just love the game, they love the camaraderie. We never had the problems with the parents that people run into at other schools. The parents were great. And because of them, we were pretty successful. “I give a lot of credit to people that spent a lot of time (coaching youth baseball). Little league baseball in Northwood was fantastic. I do know that they did such a good job coaching the kids and not berating them and I think that was a big thing. When we got the kids in ninth grade, they understood baseball.� Meyers was also proud of the fact that the baseball program helped Northwood to establish an identity. “It’s totally important (for baseball to be our identity),� he said. “The people bought into it. It started before I got there

Coach Jeff Meyers’ 1985 Northwood team included three All-Ohioans. Front Row — Dan Crispen, Keith King, Tom Gercak, Jeff Schwegler(All-Ohio), Brian Wojcik, Steve Judy, and Dave Minarcin (All-Ohio). Middle row — Chris Armstrong, Jr. Menchaca, Coach Meyers, Dave Russell, and Mike Blazevich. Back row — Dean Edwards, Clark Heter, Doug Smith, Scott Rode (All-Ohio), and Barney Dudas. – it started with Larry and a little before Larry. That was very important, not just for the players but also for the town.� Taking on state champions Besides reaching the regional final in 1984, one of the top moments for Meyers was watching his team win two Suburban Lakes League titles while playing against much bigger schools. “Winning two league titles in the SLL, that was a huge accomplishment,� he said. “To win league titles playing against Lakota, Genoa and Elmwood, that was the apex. That was beyond anything I could fathom.� He oversaw a special run which saw Northwood win eight league titles, including seven straight (1979-85), a district championship (1984), a regional final appearance (1984) and four district runner-up finishes (1983, 1986, 1988, 1989). Five players, Joe Vancena, Todd Mahaney, Scott Rode, Jeff Schwegler and Dave Minarcin, earned All-Ohio honors while playing for Meyers.

Minarcin played center field as a freshman on the 1984 squad that fell to eventualstate champion Miller City in the Class A regional final. His players said the program’s success always meant everything to Meyers. “When you’re winning, everyone is having fun,� Minarcin said. “I played four years, I had great teammates. The guys I played with were fantastic. That ‘84 senior class – Mike Susor, Denny DeLong, Todd Mahaney, Mike Gregory, Roger Measley and Chris Harrison – they were great leaders. There was Scott Rode, Dave Russell and me on that team, too. “With Coach Meyers, we had the players and he gave us some freedom. He let us go, but he knew that sometimes he had to pull us back. I can tell you, when you’re winning, it’s a lot of fun. We still talk about the fun that we had playing; that overshadowed the games. The times that we had in the environment he created – it was very fun, very competitive. He didn’t have to push buttons,� Minarcin continued. “If you hear about these great teams, the coaches hand the keys over to the great

leaders and the coach jumps in when he has to. Unless he felt that he had to do something, he created a very positive environment. He recognized the classes and he handed the teams over to the seniors. If he didn’t like what he saw, you weren’t going to get chewed out. He’d take you into his office and talk about it with you.� Minarcin holds a special place in his heart for Meyers and for those who helped build and strengthen the foundation in the program. “Those early guys really broke through and got it going and set the table,� said Minarcin, who sites Rick and Randy Coy and his brother, Rick, as some of his primary influences when he grew up watching baseball. “They set the standard,� Minarcin said. “Coach Meyers kept the standard and then some. When we were kids, we looked up to those guys. They were great athletes and even better people. We were a product of those guys and what they did. “The first year was 1964, and (those teams) started to break through and I really think those teams set things up for us. Jeff came in 1979 after Larry Smith and won 20 games with a good team. Those (early) teams should be recognized.� To give an idea of just how great Northwood baseball was over the years, take this into consideration. The Rangers lost six times in the tournament to the eventual state champion – 1976 to Leipsic; 1977 and 1984 to Miller City; 1986 to Ottawa Hills; and 1990 and 1992 to Coldwater. In fact, the 1976 team, which included Rick Minarcin, Doug Canaday, Rick Coy, John Bassitt, and Bob Snider, among others, beat Blissfield, a league rival, twice before Blissfield won Michigan’s Class C state title that same year. Minarcin said the two wins over Blissfield were important for another reason because Blissfield’s pitcher in both games was future Major League pitcher Ray Soff. “The Rangers beat him twice, which was unheard of,� Minarcin said. Other key members of that Northwood team were Bob Snider, Jay Reckley, Randy Coy, Tim Riddle, Nolan Smith Jerry Brier, Dave Kreger, Ron Shields and Mike Heider.

Eddie George a hit at charity event in Gibsonburg By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com In six years, Parker’s Purpose has come a long way. The charity, which is named in honor of Parker Inks, a 14-year-old Fremont resident, was founded six years ago when Inks, who suffers from muscular dystrophy, became quite ill and had a lengthy stay in the hospital that left his family with a great financial burden. The first event, which featured Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger as the speaker in 2008, helped to raise money for the family, who decided to return a portion to pay forward the generosity that was shown to them, thus helping to spur the cause. The cause was advanced further last Friday when former Ohio State great Eddie George spoke before a packed house at Ole Zim’s Wagon Shed in Gibsonburg. The former Heisman Trophy winner played running back at Ohio State from 1992-95 before going on to a successful career with the Tennessee Titans. George, who spoke for approximately 45 minutes, chronicled his life from his days growing up in Philadelphia and attending military

school to playing football at Ohio State and in the NFL and to his current situation, one that finds him as a successful entrepreneur and a married father of two. He discussed his experiences in the NFL, from making it to four Pro Bowls to nearly winning a Super Bowl in 1999. Retiring from the Dallas Cowboys, where he played one season, following the 2004 season, created great distress for George, who said that he questioned what his life’s purpose would be following football, something that had driven him for the better part of the previous 15 years. But after talking with people, pouring out his emotions and struggling to find an inner peace, it appears that George is content with where he is today. His post-football life has been quite successful. George is currently the owner of an architectural firm, EDGE, and owns two restaurants, Eddie George’s Grill 27, located in Columbus and Nashville. In addition, he works as a football analyst and has spent time acting, too. “What helps me get through every day,” George told the crowd during his speech, “is I commit to winning that day by being spiritually connected, listening to my inner self,

trusting my intuition, the same intuition that told me Ohio State was the place for me. What I like to do is get that time every single morning (where I have) prayer, meditation, declaration. That anchors me.” Aside from giving his speech, George, along with former Cleveland Brown greats Ernest Byner, Kevin Mack and Hanford Dixon, entertained guests for the duration of the evening while signing autographs and taking pictures. According to Parker’s Purpose President Todd Drusback, the preliminary figures indicate that the event will net approximately $45,000, a sign of just how far the organization has come in its six-year history. Thus far, the charity has donated over $125,000 to families in Northwest Ohio. “This was probably the best (event) we’ve had,” said Drusback. “It seems like the ones in the past, we’re saying, ‘This didn’t go well, that didn’t go well.’ Not to say they weren’t successful, but this was probably the best one we’ve had so far. We had Eddie, the Browns players, the crowd, the families talking, and the VIP tent. Eddie was fantastic, the Browns guys were fantastic — I thought everything was great. And we raised a lot of money in the process.”

Waite’s Clifton-Lorton, Hawks seeking another ring By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Ed Mouch, the sixth-year coach of the Toledo Hawks, wears one of his two National Amateur Baseball Federation World Series rings. The Hawks, for players age 22 and under, have won the NABF’s premier event twice since 2009 and took second in 2012. Mouch said he knows his players are aware of the ring. “They ask me about it,” Mouch said. “This weekend we were playing in our TriState Collegiate League tournament and at the end of tournament I said, ‘this is what you’re playing for next week. Hopefully you understand you have a chance to win a ring in addition to winning a World

Series.’” The Hawks qualified to this year’s 16team NABF World Series which begins July 31 and ends Aug. 3 with the championship game at Lourdes University’s Mercy Field. Other tournament venues include the University of Toledo’s Scott Park, Rich Arbinger Field at Bowman Park, and Don Kober Field at St. Francis de Sales High School. The Hawks, who were bounced in the quarterfinals last year, begin play on Thursday. At least 13 players have been with the team for two years. Through Tuesday, the Hawks were 33-17 overall and 17-17 in the Tri-State Collegiate League. The Hawks are also 16-0 in the Toledo Division of the Northwest Ohio Baseball League, which has split divisions between Toledo, Tiffin and Sandusky.

Mouch said he admires this year’s team because “they love playing the game.” “You can guarantee that if we have a game, 13-14 kids are there every day in addition to the pitcher,” Mouch said. “It’s really a close-knit group and they all get along really well together. We’re really young. They all know each other and get along with each other and have fun playing the game with each other.” The Hawks have one player from The Press coverage area in catcher Dylan Clifton-Lorton, a Waite product who plays college ball at Ohio State-Lima. In 38 games Clifton-Lorton, in his second season with the Hawks, was batting .239 (21-for-88) with 13 runs, 12 RBI, three doubles and 10 walks. “We have four catchers on our team, and Dylan is our best defensive catcher,” Mouch said. “We went to Pittsburgh this

summer and played against some Tri-State League teams and there was a college umpire who came up to me after Dylan worked the plate. He said, ‘That’s as good a defensive catcher as I’ve ever seen in my life. He makes it easy to call a game.’ “Dylan’s done a wonderful job. If you were to say who our leader is, I would say he was one of them. He has a lot of energy and he just loves playing the game. He gives us all kinds of energy, tons of energy. His hitting’s gotten better, and he does the little things for us. I just love being around him. He’s a great kid.” The Hawks’ roster includes players from Whitmer, St. John’s Jesuit, Start, St. Francis, Bowsher, Northview, Perrysburg, Maumee, Anthony Wayne, Otsego, Defiance, Van Buren, Bowling Green and Napoleon.

Rachel Albright among nation’s best college bowlers

“

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

This was my fifth year (at the Junior Gold Championships) and I’ve placed higher each year.

“

Genoa native Rachel Albright came… this…close to becoming a member of the Junior Team USA bowling team earlier this month. The problem? She’s too old. Albright, who turns 21 on Aug. 17, took second place – high enough to qualify for Junior Team USA – at the Junior Gold Championships held July 14-19 in Buffalo, N.Y. The Junior Gold Championships are held at various sites each year and host the best youth bowlers from the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. There are three divisions for boys and girls: U-12, U-15 and U-20. “They have qualifying through different tournaments,” said Albright, who will be a junior this fall at Ursuline College in Pepper Pike, Ohio. “I qualified through the Junior Tournament Bowlers Association in Ohio. The tournaments started last August through June, about every three weeks. I qualified last fall. This was my fifth year (at the Junior Gold Championships) and I’ve placed higher each year.” This month, Albright took second place out of 604 U-20 bowlers. Practice sessions for the Junior Gold Championships were held July 11-12, with qualifying beginning July 14-16. “We bowled five games each day on different lane patterns and they made the cut to the top 87 going into Thursday,” Albright said. “We bowled five games Thursday and they went to the top 48, then to the top 16, which went into match play. I did two rounds of match play on Thursday night and two on Friday. After 25 games of qualifying I was in eighth place, and through match play I went undefeated until the last round, when I got knocked into the loser’s bracket. I beat the winner of the

Rachel Albright of Genoa. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) loser’s bracket to go into the finals match.” Albright’s opponent in the finals was 16-year-old Breanna Clemmer, from Clover, S.C. “It was two-game total pinfall,” Albright said. “I had to beat her twice in order to win.” Clemmer rolled a two-game total of 387 to beat Albright by 34 pins. “I was up on her by 18 pins after the first game, and she came back with 220-something to beat me,” Albright said. “She was more consistent. It was hard for

me to get anything going.” The top two placers are supposed to earn a spot on the Junior Team USA, but Albright was too old (by five months) to qualify for the team. “We have to follow the international rules, because the Junior Team USA travels internationally,” Albright said. “I was one of the only ones who knew (about the age limit). It was more disappointing to me. It didn’t hit me until I got as far as I could, that I could have received (the invitation).” Albright said she was happy with how

well she performed during the week. She received a $4,000 scholarship for second place. “I worked really hard all week through the qualifying games and match play,” she said. “I kept my head in there. I got second and I was happy with that, and I got a $4,000 scholarship.” Albright competes on the women’s bowling team at Ursuline College and holds school records for high average, high series and high game, among others. This year she earned second team honors on the National College Bowling Coaches Association AllAmerica team. She said she had the seventh-highest average nationally (199) for collegiate women. “It was pretty cool,” Albright said of earning All-America status. “I worked my butt off all year. I think I deserved it.” Albright earned honorable mention Bowler of the Year honors by the International Bowling Media Association last season, and she was named the most valuable bowler of the AHIBC at Ursuline College after posting a 202 season average. Albright, whose mother, Penny Keeler, owns Eastern Lanes in Northwood, is studying nursing at Ursuline College.

After raising $11,000, Genoa’s cage becomes reality The Genoa Little League Association hit a home run for the approximately 200 ballplayers who call it their home franchise and for the community that has supported it for nearly half a century. That’s because, coming to Veteran’s Memorial Park this season will be the GLLA’s first, state-of-the-art batting cage. GLLA ballplayers will be able to access the cage free-of-charge. “We, as a league, have actually been wanting a batting cage for quite awhile now,” offers GLLA president Lee Nissen, 50. Nissen has been involved in Genoa-area youth baseball since the age of 16. Nissen spent his time at Quarry Park as a player, coach, public address announcer, concession stand operator, and steward to the league for 34 years. The cage adds a new element to what the GLLA offers. “Many times our diamonds are in use for practices and games, this cage will give our kids a place to hit,” Nissen said. “This cage is something we’ve envisioned for quite some time,” Nissen said the cage became a reality when Joe Large, GLLA vice president in charge of fundraising, came up with the idea of a reverse raffle. About $11,000 was

raised at the event last April. “I think Joe and his wife, Kathy, did a phenomenal job, as we were able to raise more than enough to build a cage,” Nissen said. “The cage adds a whole new dimension to our baseball fields that we never had before,” he adds, “we can now take batting practice before games. A team can come up, and hit, even when the diamonds are in use. Even dads can bring their sons

up, to get some practice swings in at the park. Our community is just ecstatic. This is something we’ve wanted for our kids for some time.” Slated to be completed in the coming weeks, the 70 by 28 foot cage’s construction will be a homegrown labor of love. Stone is being donated by Graymont, a frame will be donated by Lester Meyer and Riverside Machine & Automation, and the cage, matting, and other features coming courtesy of Antony Sharples and Genoa business Elite Team Supply. Completing the build will be former Genoa youth baseball players and longtime supporters Tom Giles and Tim Reed. The premier feature of the GLLA’s new cage will be a pitching machine donated to the organization by John Castle, whose grandchildren play ball at the park. The machine features all the usual bells-andwhistles, including varying pitch speed controls, and the capability to change up pitch styles, and was brand new when it was donated two years ago. Nissen says a league official will have to be on-hand for use of the machine itself. Further equipment, such as batting helmets and bats, will not be included with use of the cage, so ballplayers will have to bring their own to the park. Slated to be located along the third base line of Lou Thomas Field, the new cage is

just the latest in hopefully a long line of updates and improvements to Veteran’s Memorial Park’s youth baseball facilities. Other improvements in recent years included new fencing, an updated concession stand and dugouts, and the installation of new additional diamonds. Nissen says the GLLA would like to add scoreboards to all of its diamonds in the not-too-distant future, as well as lights to Hayes Field, pending a grant. Nissen says, in his mind, it’s a proud moment when a community project like this comes together. “The GLLA would like to thank our community for their great support, and for helping to make this become a reality,” he adds. “Our Genoa baseball community has always been strong, and we only hope this adds to it. “I have to thank all of our volunteers who made the reverse raffle happen,” praises Nissen, “and Lester and Riverside Machine for the frame, Antony and Elite Team Supply for the cage and mats, Graymont for the stone, and John Harmeyer for hauling it for us! And of course, I need to thank (village administrator) Kevin Gladden for helping us make this project happen. “This cage provides a ton of benefits to our league and our kids,” he says, “and it’s something to be very proud of for us, because it has been a true community effort.”

Oregon seeks to end exodus to youth travel teams By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com An exodus of youth from City of Oregon’s recreation leagues to travel teams prompted officials to hold a meeting Tuesday to consider how to stem the flow. Recreation Department Director Joe Wasserman said the meeting in council chambers Tuesday night lasted over three hours. Wasserman said it’s not only affecting participation numbers, it’s affecting the quality of recreation leagues. “We know with this mass exodus to travel, it’s so watered down the quality isn’t there. We’ve got so many people playing travel that don’t belong playing travel,” Wasserman said. Wasserman said about 60 people attended the meeting, including Clay baseball coach Jim Phillips, softball coach Brenda Radabaugh, and Athletic Director Mark Beach. The department held an internal follow-up meeting Wednesday night to discuss what came out of the meeting. One plan he said that will be put in place will be to have more clinics in November and December and then review how they went next January, but he says discussion will

continue. “We’ve still got a lot of things to discuss,” Wasserman said. “What we will get out of that is some follow-up meetings. “Right now, we’ve combined baseball and softball, but in our next meetings we will separate, going with the baseball meeting and then go with the softball meeting, because there are some separate issues.” There will be a meeting to talk specifically about softball issues from 6-7:30 p.m. on Aug. 18 in council chambers, and following that from 7:30-9 p.m., a meeting specifically for baseball. Meetings are open to the public. The city’s website states that its summer program allows more than 1,400 youths from pre-kindergarten through high school to participate in tee-ball, coach pitch, baseball, softball and high school coed softball. Summer programs also include men’s, co-ed and women’s softball leagues.

Parents or coaches of youth baseball players who want to be batboys and/or ball chasers at the National Amateur Baseball Federation College World Series in the Toledo area July 31-August 3 may call City of Toledo recreation coordinator Shawn Sobel at 419-936-3887. The College World Series will be played at Scott Park (University of Toledo), Mercy Field (Lourdes University), Rich Arbinger Field (Bowman Park) and Don Kober Field (St. Francis DeSales High School). This is the 10th year it has been held in Toledo hosted by the Toledo Amateur Baseball Federation. Former college players who have competed in this national tournament since it arrived in Toledo over 10 years ago include St. Louis Cardinals third baseman David Freese, Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Tony Cingrani and Boston Red Sox reliever Burke Badenhop. Batboys, entire youth baseball teams or portions of youth baseball teams may participate. They should wear their youth baseball uniforms and will be admitted free.

Natural remedies available when garden pests, problems crop up By J.K. DePeal Garden Writer news@presspublications.com

and drown.

Get Growing

The garden season is in full swing now and garden problems are beginning to show themselves. Insect attacks, plant diseases and critter raids can take a real toll on flowers and vegetables that looked so great just a short time ago. Some of my roses, which were picture perfect a few weeks ago, are now under siege from black spot disease. But not to worry – growing not far from my rose bushes and in my medicine cabinet are the ingredients for a black spot tonic that should restore my roses to perfection. A lot of other remedies are available using common ingredients that we all have on hand around the home and garden. Check your cupboards, closets, garages etc. and you’ll probably find just what you need to keep your flowers, shrubs, trees, etc. in tiptop shape.

shingle “tents” into the soil near the plants being eaten. Fill the jar lids to the rim with the beer and slide them under the shingle “tents.” After one or two days, empty the trapped snails and old beer into the pail and refill the lid traps with fresh beer. • This spray will destroy slugs on contact: 1-1/2 cups ammonia 1-1/2 cups water Pour ammonia and water into a quart spray bottle. Shake together and spray mix into areas where slugs are active. • Get rid of mealy bugs with this formula. 1 gallon water 2 tbsp. corn oil 2 tbsp. dishwashing liquid Place water, corn oil and dishwashing liquid into a pump spray bottle. Apply to infected plants. • This is a remedy for pest-infected houseplants. 1 cup rubbing alcohol 1 quart water Mix the ingredients and pour into a pump bottle. Spray a plant leaf to test it first, and then at three-day intervals, spray the plant as needed. • To control ants inside the house or outside, dust infested areas with baking soda. • To keep wasps from attacking you, give them these bait traps. Pop open a can of beer and pour out a quarter of the liquid. Tie a string through the hole in the pop top and hang the can from a tree branch or nail near where the wasps are a problem. Wasps love beer and will crawl into the can and drown. • Repel grasshoppers by mixing 1 Tbsp. Kaopectate in 1 gallon of water. Spray this mix on the lawn, plants, trees, etc. where grasshoppers are a problem. • Keep fruit flies under control by placing a mix of 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar and water to fill a baby food jar to half full. Set the jar near area where the fruit flies are a problem and they will crawl into the jar

Pest Control • To keep a wide variety of insects away from your plants try this blend: 2-3 whole garlic bulbs 1 qt. water 4-5 drops dishwashing liquid Place the garlic cloves in a blender with 1 cup of water and blend. Add the rest of the water and the dishwashing liquid and blend. Strain the mix and store in a glass jar. Dribble on the soil around any plant you wish to protect from harmful insects. • Use this mix against aphids and soft bodied insects: 1 pint water Grated rind from 1 lemon Boil the water and add the lemon rind. Allow to steep all night then strain and pour the liquid into a pump bottle. Apply to the leaves of any infected plant. Coat well. • A great trap to control slugs in the garden. 2 roofing shingles 6 quart jar lids or shallow containers 1 can of beer 1 pail Cut the shingles into three 1-foot square pieces and fold in half to form tent covers for the traps. Press the edges of the

Plant foods • Feed your lawn with this mix: 1 cup Listerine 1 cup dishwashing liquid 1 cup beer 1 cup Epsom salts Mix the ingredients in a quart jar and fill a hose attached spray container. Spray over a 3,000 sq. ft. area of lawn in May and late June. • For azaleas, ferns, rhododendrons, blueberries, camellias, and gardenias, this treatment is an excellent source of nutrients: 1 pint white distilled vinegar 2 gallons water Mix the ingredients well and pour directly on the soil around the base of the plants. • A great plant food can be made from Swiss chard. Place 2 cups red or green Swiss chard leaves in a blender and add hot water to fill. Blend the mix thoroughly and strain through a cheesecloth or colander. Let cool and use the mix to water plants. • A great all-purpose plant treatment is a solution of 1Tbsp. Epsom salts in a gallon of water. Mix together and apply around the base of any plant needing a “pep-up.” • Gatorade can be used to water houseplants and will add potassium and nitrogen to the soil to give plants a “boost.” • Use leftover cereal crumbs to add to your garden soil. Sweetened varieties work best and add nutrients that are helpful to plants. • Once a month, mix 2 Tbsp. of olive oil into the soil around the base of ferns and palm plants. • Used coffee grounds are a great addition to the soil around garden and houseplants. Work them into the soil and add plant boosting nutrients to the soil. Repel Pesky Animals • Deter moles from tearing up your lawn by pouring a quarter-cup of dolomite lime into the openings of their underground runways and then replace the earth over the opening without compressing the soil. • After planting spring bulbs, keep the squirrels away by sprinkling the ground with red cayenne pepper. Re-apply the pepper after a few days if it rains soon after the first application.

• Use this mix to keep dogs from digging in certain areas of your yard. 1 clove garlic, chopped 1 onion chopped 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper Mix all in a pail and steep overnight. Sprinkle over areas where dogs are digging and mix will stop the activity. • Repel cats from areas by spraying with white vinegar. • Keep skunks away from any area of the yard by hanging fresh sheets of Bounce Classic from fence posts, shrubs and trees. Refresh the sheets with a mist of water every few days. • Keep rabbits from chewing the bark of young trees by wrapping with a sheet of aluminum foil. Secure the wrap with duct tape. The shiny foil and rattling noise will deter rabbit chewing. Plant Medicine • Fungal diseases, aphids, and June bugs can be treated with a rhubarb spray made with 6 rhubarb leaves and 3 quarts of water. Place cut leaves in water and bring to a boil. Steep overnight and blend in a blender. Strain through a cheesecloth and pour into a spray bottle. Spray on any infected plant. • Sprinkle nonfat dry milk powder in the hole before planting tomato plants. The milk powder will prevent blight, blossomend rot and other tomato diseases. • Get rid of mold and mildew on peonies by dusting the ground around each bush with ground cinnamon. • Disinfect your garden tools with any type of hand sanitizer. The ethyl alcohol in the sanitizer will kill any bacteria and fungi. • Powdery mildew and black spot can be treated with a mix of 1 tsp. baking soda and 5 drops of corn oil in 1 quart of water. Pour into a pump spray bottle and apply once a week for about a month to any affected plants. • A mix of 1 Tbsp. Epsom salts in 1 gallon of water can be sprayed on plants to increase their resistance to disease. It also adds nutrients to the soil around the plant.

essage of the

eek: Blessed are the Poor in Spirit

It may seem odd that the very first of the beatitudes bestows a blessing on the poor in spirit and promises that the kingdom of heaven is theirs (Matthew 5:3). Should we not seek spiritual riches rather than spiritual poverty? The blessing for the poor in spirit is not meant to denigrate spiritual treasures but rather to elevate the spirit of poverty and humility. We would do well to remember here that the scribes and Pharisees were paradigms of virtue, rich in spirit and proud of their piety, but, didn't seem to need or heed Jesus's message. Jesus had vastly more to offer the weeping

adulteress who was thrown at His feet than he did to her accusers. And He had more respect for the impoverished widow who humbly put her two small coins in the temple treasury than the wealthy who made a show of putting in larger amounts. God loves the poor, and those who are poor in spirit even more, so we should count it a blessing when we are feeling lowly and humbled. Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. James 4:9-10

People Open house for Lake firefighter It was just over four years ago the Lake Township trustees were recognizing Dennis “Pinky” Traver for 50 years of service with the township fire department. An open house to mark the retirement of the veteran from the department will be held Aug. 5 at the township administration building, Cummings Road. The community is honoring Traver, who’s been with the department for 54 years – the most recent as assistant chief at the Ayers Road station. The open house will be held from 6:30-8 p.m. at the township trustees meeting room, following the regular meeting of the trustees. A plaque will be presented to Traver, whose service began as a member of the Millbury Fire Department that was merged with the Walbridge Fire Department in 1991. “We said our goodbyes at our last regular drill night. This will give the public a chance to say goodbye to Pinky too,” said John Castellanos, a captain at the Millbury station.

Anniversary celebration St. Paul Lutheran Church, 9789 W. Oak Harbor SE Rd., Oak Harbor, is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2014. The celebration included a special Sunday message delivered March 2 by former Pastor Paul Schlief. On May 11, St. Paul welcomed Bishop Lohrmann for the morning service. A special invitation has been sent to former confirmants of the church for the Aug. 3 worship service. Former youth group members and organists have also been invited to the service, which will include participation by the Youth Group and the Sunday School Choir. In addition, St. Paul will have a float at the Oak Harbor Apple Festival Oct. 11. On Oct. 26, a special Homecoming Service will be held at the church, presided over by Pastor Timothy Nehls. The Aug. 3 and Oct. 26 services will begin at 10:30 a.m. and will be followed by lunch. St. Paul Church was started in 1864 by Rev. Christopher Raths, who was born in Germany in 1807. Raths became a teacher and then came to America in 1840. He studied to be a minister and was ordained in 1858. Rev. Raths served as pastor of St. Paul for 28 years, from 1858 until his death in 1886. He and his wife are buried in the Roose Cemetery, located southeast of Oak Harbor. The current pastor is Cheryl Wessel, who has been with St. Paul since 1998.

Happy 65th Anniversary Mom & Dad

A thousand words won't bring you back, I know because I've tried; Neither will a thousand tears, I know because I've cried. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day. Missing you is the heartache that never goes away.

We love you! Gramma Mo & Papa

In Loving Memory of Michael, today is your 30th Birthday. There is no cake (no chocolate pie with loads of whip cream), no party, just a broken heart. It is very tough as the days and years go by. You stay the same. I have your sixteen year old picture and that is how you will always look. I wonder who you would be today. Since the house fire, it feels like I have lost you again. Your room is empty, your books, music everything. So now I have just memories of your love of music (I could always find you in the Clay High School band room), your passion for bicycling and our adventures. I miss your beautiful smile, your laughter, your teasing and pranks. They say there is a reason, that time can heal, but neither time or reason will change the way I feel. For no one knows the heartache that lies behind my smiles, no one knows how many times I have broken down and cried. Being your mom was the greatest part of my life.

I Love You, Mom
